* In a ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' episode, the Reds ([[AndZoidberg plus Caboose]]) end up jumping through a malfunctioning teleporter. Meanwhile, at the Rooster Teeth studio, Miles Luna ends up accidentally spilling an energy drink on the Xbox they're using to generate the show, while Burnie Burns flips the switch to shut off power to spite Miles. The combination results in the Reds (plus Caboose) ending up in the studio, face-to-face with their creators, who are, understandably, freaked out. Sarge immediately assumes the other people are "the enemy". The same accident results in the Reds (plus Caboose) being sent back... along with Miles Luna.

* In ''{{Chaotic}}'', the episode ''Chaotic Crisis'' involves the Underworlders reverse-engineering human technology to create portals linking Perim, Chaotic, and Earth. ([[spoiler:It was AllJustADream, however.]])* About half of the episodes of DiC's ''TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' had the characters visiting Earth in some way. In this continuity, Mario and Luigi are plumbers from "the real world" who discovered the Mushroom World on a plumbing job, and Earthlings are drawn with the same art style as the Marios. Yet Bowser and Peach and Toad refer to Earth as "the real world" even though the Mushroom World is as real to them as the real world.

* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' destroys the fourth wall by having the grand finale gun battle/brawl spill out into the rest of the Warner Brothers Studio. We follow the characters through the commissary, through another movie set (where one of the characters announces he works for director Creator/MelBrooks). We then follow the villain to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood where he attends a showing of ... ''Blazing Saddles''.

* The LiveActionAdaptation for ''Film/TheSmurfs'' have the title creatures entering a portal that sends them to New York, and they need to find a spell to go home. In a ''Smurfs'' comic book which depicts them more as historical legends than just fictional creations.

Reason: The Smurfs' example does not count, is establish in the movie that they travel trough time, even the troper wrote that

* Ed and Hohenheim towards the end of the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist 2003 anime version]] of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''; they never meet Hiromu Arakawa, but [[WordOfGod she has confirmed]] that [[spoiler:they really did end up in our London, and WorldWarOne and WorldWarTwo were at least partially the result of all the alchemy that was going on in their world.]]

* An episode of ''Series/DiagnosisMurder'' had Amanda Bentley, played by Victoria Rowell, win a trip to the set of ''TheYoungAndTheRestless'', in which Victoria Rowell also starred. Other regular characters from within the show and real actors from ''The Young and the Restless'' playing themselves, plus actors playing fictional ''The Young and the Restless'' crew, commented on [[ActorAllusion how much Amanda Bentley looked like Victoria Rowell]].

** Additionally, there's the Series/StarTrekVoyager episode which throws the crew back in time to 1995 which essentially operates as a real world episode having them land in the then present.** In fact it's actually MORE likely that they arrived in 'our' reality, or at least a parallel reality, as according to Star Trek lore half the world was under control of the dictator Khan Noonien Singh in 1995. It is certainly not evident in this episode, nor questioned by any of the characters.* In an episode of ''GrowingPains'', Ben Seaver wishes his life were more like TV, and wakes up to discover his entire life is a television show called ''Meet the Seavers''. All the actors are referred to by their real names, and members of the production crew feature prominently. At one point Kirk Cameron, who usually plays Ben's older brother Mike, confides to Ben [[MindScrew that he actually is Mike, and has been trapped in the real world for years]].* Happens to the video game characters in ''AceLightning''.
